ProspectMX, a Lancaster, PA-based internet marketing company, announced plans Monday to grant a Christmas Wish to a deserving non-profit organization in the form of $10,000 worth of free internet marketing services (http://www.prospectmx.com/internet-marketing-services). The ProspectMX Christmas Wish contest officially begins December 15, 2008 and ends December 31, 2008. The team at ProspectMX will announce the winner of the contest on January 5, 2009.
The catch There is none. All a non-profit organization has to do is answer the question How can internet marketing benefit your organization on their website or blog and then notify
ProspectMX when they'sve posted their answers. The ProspectMX staff will then choose the winner based on their favorite entry and which charity seems to have the greatest need.
Once they'sve chosen a winner, ProspectMX will work on developing and implementing an internet marketing plan that will best fulfill the goals and needs of the non-profit organization.
Various strategies may be used, including search engine optimization (SEO), link building, social media, on-site optimization and possibly even website design for the charity if
necessary.
David Brown, who joined the internet marketing company (http://www.prospectmx.com) over the summer, actually came up with the idea at the spur of
the moment. I'sve done some work for non-profits in the past and it really just gives you that warm fuzzy feeling, said Brown. This contest just popped into my head one morning. The hard
part is going to be choosing who to help.
Other companies in the internet marketing community have also gotten involved with the Christmas Wish. Runner up prizes have been provided by Seattle-based search firm SEOmoz, educational
website SEO 101 Tools, and trackur, a social media and online reputation monitoring service.
The whole team was immediately taken with the idea and fine-tuned the details in order to launch the ProspectMX Christmas Wish contest. We just want to be able to give back to the people
who are giving back every day of the year, says Dave Conklin, one of the three founders of ProspectMX. SEO and internet marketing is really a gift that keeps on giving, as clich's233; as
that sounds.
ProspectMX, founded in late 2007, provides internet marketing services such as SEO, link building, social media management, Pay-Per-Click advertising management, consulting services and
much more to clients on a national level. Past and current clients include a 2008 Inc 500 company, a world famous tourist resort, and a national security company. While their roster is
filling up fast, ProspectMX is always on the look out for new and challenging projects to add to their repertoire.
